Just knowing something about a contractor isn't enough. In order to ensure a quality installation, you should ask questions of the contractor
like:
- How long have they been in business?
- Have they been trained by any manufacturers?
- What percentage of their business consists of the type of work you are requesting?
- Will they provide you with three references - past and present?
- Can you contact their references and inspect jobs?
- Do they have a portfolio of photo's and letters to qualify themselves?
- Are they in good credit standing?
- Do they have a current liability insurance certificate?
- Can the contractor provide proof that worker's compensation insurance covers all workers on the job.?
- Do they provide a written, itemized proposal outlining the scope of the work and terms of payment? It should include starting and completion dates.
- Do they guarantee their work for one year and will they return in a year to inspect it?
- Are they members of any associations?
With answers to these questions and others you might have, plus answers on how to know when the job is done right, you should be able to select a competent contractor.
Be sure to contact your supplier regarding proper installation of the particular products you have selected. Ask your contractor if these procedures will be followed.
With all these specific questions answered, you may still have some general questions. Please always feel free to contact us. We will be glad to help you in any way we can.
